The effect of embodied metafiction in contemporary performance
Description
This study seeks to define a particular sub-genre of contemporary performance where self-awareness is a significant factor in the audience's experience. Exemplified in the development of a new performance work ('Spectate'), the term 'embodied metafiction' is proposed as a way of understanding the effect of highlighting an audience's presence and participation in the theatrical experience. Principles of 'embodied metafiction' are observed through 'Spectate' to demonstrate how an audience can be stimulated to experience a more vivid sense of the immediate present when their bodies and minds are positioned as part of a complex web of meaning.
